The two more liberal parties are allowing the Tories to take control. Tories have only 36.6% of the vote, yet have nearly 50% of the seats!

4. the Tories are going to get close to 326
and will have a much easier time forming a coalition. The differences between Labour and Liberal Democrats will split their votes enough to allow the Tories to take it.

My English in-laws enjoy their benefits. They just hate immigrants a little bit more. So there you go.

5. If that's so, it's rather disappointing.

7. Nope, yoiu add all the rightists up, it's still less than 40%

Labour and the Lib Dems have taken a majority of the votes, yet the Tories will have almost a majority of the seats.

11. In each constituency, whatver party has the most votes wins.
so Labour and Lib Dems have 50.3% of the vote combined, Tories win.
